Christopher performed in Hilliard Darby High School's production of Peter Pan this week. It was the last show for Chris and other seniors in the school's Theatre Troupe.

"The production was well received and hugely successful," Cathy writes. "Chris performed in the role of Starkey, one of the pirates with Captain Hook. He performed in musical numbers throughout Acts 2 and 3, such as 'Pirate Song,' 'Hook's Tango,' 'Hook's Taratella' and 'Hook's Waltz.'"
The production incorporated flying effects for Peter and the Darling children, and a Steampunk-inspired vision for the costumes and sets.

The troupe put on six performances, including one for local second-grade
students. The cast included elementary school children portraying Michael Darling and some of
the Lost Boys.

"Since the story is set in an era when many people held racist views towards Native Americans, the theater director used this play as a means to educate the students and community about this period in history and ways to overcome prejudice today."

"Chris has enjoyed being involved in Darby's Theatre Troupe, both behind the scenes as part of the Tech Crew and performing in small X-Theatre productions and main-stage shows. He's hoping to continue his theater involvement into college."
